January 8th. An Essence Of Memories.


An Essence Of Memories.

Salt and Vinegar with Chips on a Saturday,
Stale smoke and beer,
A lingering of fear,
Dettol for the cuts,
Disinfectant for the vomit,
The stench of dread creeping from the closet.

      The photo is of some of my perfume bottles. The poem......smells and situations really. I shall write a more positive 'smelly' poem tomorrow.

    The poem is very good, I like it a lot. And it goes perfectly with the picture!

    I'm glad these are memories rather than current realities. The poem is very evocative.
